Nan Rich talks with supporters Rick Neuhoff and Hillary Keyes in West Delray.

Capping a day that included stops in Tampa and Orlando, Rich visited the Hagen Ranch Road Library west of Delray Beach, where about two dozen supporters greeted her on the next-to-last day of early voting before Tuesday’s primaries.

Rich and former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist are vying for the Democratic nomination for governor to challenge Republican Gov. Rick Scott.

Nan Rich gives an ice bucket dousing to friend and supporter Rita Solnet, who lost her husband to ALS.

Among the supporters on hand for Rich was Rita Solnet, who lost her husband to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease — 16 years ago.

Saying she was honored to have Solnet by her side, Rich took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and was doused with icy water to raise awareness of the disease.

“I also want to challenge my primary opponent, Gov. Crist, to do the same thing. Now, I challenged him with a debate, OK? He didn’t take me up on that. Let’s see if he takes me up on this for ALS,” Rich said before having the ice water dumped on her.

Charlie Crist gets soaked for ALS by campaign manager Omar Khan.

A few hours later, Crist’s campaign Facebook page posted a video of Crist getting soaked for ALS earlier in the day by campaign manager Omar Khan. In the video, Crist said he was accepting a challenge from former state Sen. Dan Gelber and Gelber’s son Max.

Adrian Wyllie deserves my vote and yours too. He is a honest average
Floridian just as you and I , that is willing to stand up and do
something for the interest of all of us here in Florida. The other
candidates both Republican and Democrat are owned and controlled by
special interest, like puppets and will lie to your face to gain your
vote, then continue the same old agenda that we complain about year
after year. Time to get off this merry-go-round, election after
election, thinking it will be any different. Take a stand, vote for the
candidate that loves this state and is willing to take time out of his
life, effort and money to SERVE the people of Florida and stop voting
for these 'paid for' career politicians that are only out for money and
fame and have zero interest in us Floridians. Even if it's just for
honesty alone, vote for Adrian Wyllie instead of the other two
(Scott/Crist) which are proven liars. The choice is yours and yours
alone, if you want the same old corruption and slap in the face, go
ahead and vote for one of the two puppets (Scott/Crist) OR do what is
right for our (yours and your children's) future and vote for Adrian
Wyllie. Support him by donating to his campaign, spreading the word and
contribute to the super brochure program which I think is very powerful.
